social needs arising from the de
fense program and the integra
tion of all voluntary services in
this field.
John M. Schiff, chairman of the
Army and Navy Committee of the
National Jewish Welfare Board,
asserted that conscious efforts
should be made to prevent the ci
vilian state of mind from being
submerged under the pressure of
military training. Voluntary wel
fare organizations, he said, are
stressing “service to civilians in
a citizen’s army rather than serv
ice to soldiers in camps.”
Mr. Schiff described the activ
ities of the Jewish Welfare Board
in organizing Jewish communities,
primarily these near cantonments,
to provide hospitality, social life,
and recreation for the men from
the camps.
Nazi Threat to U. S.
At a dinner meeting on
Responsibilities in a War-Torn
World,” Mrs. Vera Micheles Dean
of the Foreign Policy Association,
asserted that Nazism challenged
democracy not only in military
and economic terms, but also in
terms of ideas.
“The problem of tomorrow in
Europe and throughout the world,”
she said, “is not restoration, but
reconstruction. We need not mere
ly an effort to save democracy;
that is defensive tactics, an ideo
logical Maginot Line. What we
need are efforts to improve and
strengthen democracy—in other
words, we need an ideological of
fensive against Nazism. The dem
ocratic countries have within them
great latent vitality. If we have
sufficient courage to realize our
vision of the new order, we may
find that it is democracy, not Naz
ism, that represents the wave of
the future.”
